North Church Hill 1913 House Interior Restoration

This house was a disaster when we first went in to bid it. 25% of the second floor had fallen victim to fire damage from long ago; including the ceiling and the attic. We are moving several walls, opening up the kitchen, and re-purposing the rooms and the space.


We are installing new framing for what will become the Master Suite. 


In the attic here, we are preparing to add a brand new set of pull down stairs to give attic access,

Where Chris is framing right now use to be a small hallway closet that led to the crawl space and behind him was also a closet/storage. That space behind him is being converted into a bathroom that will connect to the Master Suite.

Right now, Chris is framing to install a pocket door that will really turn it into a Master Suite, rather than simply a Master Bedroom.



What will become a guest bedroom.

This was a bathroom that will be restored.


This area will be an office. One of the reasons that we work on these older house is because that brick construction is s neat.


The kitchen floor was completely rotten and had extensive termite damage around the door frame. We cut out the damage, reframed the doorway,and the kitchen floor. The area to the right will be a laundry/mechanical room.
